Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Trauma can impact the nervous system long after the event has passed, affecting relationships, work performance, emotional regulation, and your sense of safety. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make logical sense. In therapy, I take a structured, evidence-based approach grounded in CBT and trauma-informed care to help you process painful experiences safely and at your own pace. Our work focuses on restoring a sense of control, strengthening coping skills, and helping your mind and body move from survival mode toward greater stability and integration.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting effects that show up in thoughts, emotions, and the body—often long after the original experience has passed. Many people feel stuck in patterns of fear, self-blame, or hypervigilance, even when they understand logically that they’re no longer in danger. In therapy, I offer a steady, compassionate space to make sense of these responses, helping you understand how trauma shaped both your beliefs about yourself and your sense of safety in the world.
My approach to trauma healing weaves together insight, somatic body-based practices, and Emotion-Focused Tapping (EFT). We work gently with the body to release stored stress while also addressing the beliefs that trauma leaves behind—such as feeling powerless, unsafe, or unworthy. True healing happens when both the mind and body are included in the process. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and a renewed sense of control, allowing life to feel more grounded, connected, and whole again.
